2.9 Coupling Device Identification
Identify the coupling device on the end of the table top (see Figures 11 and 12). Early
versions of the Jackson Spinal Surgery Top and Imaging Tops have fixed mounting
tubes. Jackson Spinal Surgery Tops built after October 1999 and Radiolucent Imaging
Table Tops built after January 1997 will have gimbal mounting assemblies (Figure 12).
Gimbals allow for rotation of the table top when positioned in extreme lateral tilt and
trendelenburg or reverse trendelenburg. Both designs couple to the H-frame in the
same fashion. The 5890/5891 Modular Table Bases can utilize either version of the
coupling devices but the 5892/5803 Advanced Control Bases must use only gimbal
mounting assemblies (Figure 12).
Use of table tops on the 5892/5803 Advanced Control Bases without gimbal
mounting assemblies (Figure 12) can result in damage to the table top.
